By now, those of us who live inSedgwickCountyrealize
that Sedgwick County Commissioner Richard Ranzau’s is a destructive jerk. He is
a knot-head and a far-right dogmatist that believes that government is only
there to protect the property rights of him and his friends.

Ranzau, and his cronies in the commission,
have made destructive cuts in public spending, such as the Zoo, Wichita Arts
Council and public health.

And we can thank Davis Merritt, who's columns
get carried inThe Wichita Eagle, for exposing this
creep.

Merritt let us know that, although Ranzau has
acted as if there was a budget crisis going on in Sedgwick when confronted by
local voters, he had a totally different reason for all these county cuts when
he spoke, last week, to the conservative "choir" at a Wichita
Pachyderm Club meeting.

“We can give you a rationale for every
decision that we made, and I have to say the vast majority of them should be
made regardless of whether or not we had a budget deficit.....”

“We’re trying to restore core American
values toSedgwickCounty,” he said.'

He also tried to claim, once again, that the
"the county … has moved so far left that we don’t even recognize core
American values.”

This last statement is ridiculous. This county
has NEVER gone to the left. What HAS happened is that people as Ranzau and his
chums have moved far to the right and now blames all their problems on the
mythical Kansas left the really never existed.

This is a great example of what can happen
when a politician talks out of both sides of his mouth in two deferent places
at about the same time. He gets exposed as the shyster he is.

Merritt does a good job of exposing the
stupidity of Ranzau and is "property rights only" philosophy. Merritt
explains that the purpose of government:

"The preamble to the U.S. Constitution
does an admirable job of explaining why “the government exists,” to use
Ranzau’s formulation: “in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish
Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote
the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our
Posterity.…”

And as we can very clearly see, Ranzau's
political ideology falls WAY short of any of that. Merritt further states that
voters should feel remorse for ever having put this idiot in office at all.

So thank you Davis Merritt for exposing this
two-faced ass hole for the two-bit shyster he really is.

The cost of maintaining US Imperialism is high!

No other country in the world puts as much of its budget into the military as the US. This country is the top imperialist power in the world today and that is costing us a lot of resources that are badly needed elsewhere.
